Almost all fruits and vegetables are lower than 10% calories from fat, with the exception of avocados and coconuts. All whole grains are good, although oats are a bit higher; taken in moderation they are acceptable. Lentils are very low. Most beans are low, although some (soy beans and many soy-based products) are much higher.

As a general rule, if you can find a Nutrition Facts label, avoid foods that have more than one gram of fat per 100 calories.
